Another article on public video surveillance
Topics: Security & Insecurity,Insights, Privacy & Liberties, Surveillance, Panopticon, Public Safety Related to my recent posting on public video surveillance, I came across an interesting article on the San Francisco Chronicle Web site. The article " S.F. public housing cameras no help in homicide arrests" shows that cameras by themselves will not help if they are not monitored or maintained. Perhaps, there is an economic factor in the support or lack of support for installed video surveillance systems. London's "Ring of Steel" is well supported because it is protecting a major political and financial centre. San Francisco's public housing developments (roughly equivalent to UK's council housing) aren't protecting "high value" sites and funding falls lower in priorities. Maybe, in some cases, the municipal government spends most of the funds on the actual equipment but doesn't allocate funding for supporting the surveillance systems fully. Do the vendors always give the full and accurate picture of the costs? Many of those ongoing support costs, such as the people to monitor the video and responders to deal with detected crimes, do not bring in profits for the camera equipment vendors. The municipal government customers may also have the impression that the cameras mean fewer officers are needed on the streets. Just my ponderings. Oh, by the way, video surveillance for private businesses is often encouraged by insurance considerations. If the cameras shift the crime elsewhere, that's not the business's concern. J.D. Abolins |
